Hey man - I was there too, and the next night as well, BUT 7/31 was THE night. Nice review; too bad you lost your tape b/c in some ways it sounds better
...
but lucky to have Jerry (Moore's) as well b/c Dick L. himself told me the SB for this night didn't survive in the vault before he upgraded the storage conditions.
What's interesting is, as you say, it was one of the most energetic auds I've ever been a part of - but not just noisy - EVERYONE was LIT! the PERFECT group hand clapping is an instrument on this recording and although loud, its totally in the groove (like the aud tape for 9/7/73 which contains the greatest Eyes ever IMHO, but you probably already know that). The best thing is that for the 30 min, incredible Playin', everyone chilled for the Bitches Brew-esque jam and you can hear all the subtlties no problem. To me, every single tune is a gem performance with many best evers. We knew right away from the rare and explosive R.O.R opener this was a big night, and we immediately made our way from the center field seats right up to about 15 yds from the stage. Do you remember what Garcia looked like when he busted loose for the Truckin' climax? This was the best show ever for me; I saw lots of 'em starting in '69 til the end ('73 was the best year though, duh!). I've never come down from 7/31/73 and thank god...

Forty year ago this month my older brother Donald took his 14 year old brother and 17 year old sister to our first Grateful Dead concert. He had a Mercedes
...
Benz then too. But it was the kind that when I accidently locked the keys in it, I could crawl through a hole in the floor board to get in and unlock the car. It was an eye opening day, I drank beer and smoked little funny cigarettes that were passed to me.
Today I emailed Donald the audio link to that concert. This is what he had to say:
Joanie and Kenny:
Yes Joanie and Kenny, we were there. I can remember it like it was yesterday - the great Roosevelt Stadium in our beloved Jersey City! Can't believe it was actually 40 years ago this week.
There are not enough superlatives to describe how great this concert sounded and made me feel today. I put the discovery of this internet site right up there with Man's discovery of the Rosetta Stone. Maybe it's time for me to enter the digital world. Love Donald
I guess he liked it! Maybe I can get him on Facebook next.

Wow THANK YOU GD Archivists!! This Bertha brought tears to my eyes. You can see/hear the music rippling across the audience, various individuals screaming
...
as they get seared. While I could only echo previous posts re: musical caliber of this Big Bouncing show, I will say that I've never heard another recording that so completely captures the mutual swelling of audience and band, Blazing Together. Precious Sound. Thanks to Mr Monte for his heartfelt review(see below).

A short drive from my parents house in Queens to Roosevelt Stadium. Saw the boys every time they played there. This show and the next night were two of
...
the best shows I have had the pleasure of going too. As Deadhead Monte pointed out-Wonderfully strange things going on up front. I have had 8/1/73 for some time now and I think I may have a SB of this show-will have to check. No matter this AUD is fuckin' beautiful. Lets not forget The Band who opened both shows. Would love to hear that tape. Living in NYC in the early 70s was pur bliss for any Dead Head. Ahh to be 20 again. Thanks archive, Thanks Jerry M. Your passion and talent remains

~This Day In GRATEFUL DEAD History~
Thirty six years ago today the GRATEFUL DEAD were playin' Roosevelt ... Stadium. I was at this show, and I went to the next nights show for Jerry's Birthday. That was memorable...we all said Happy Birthday Jerry! The next night is my birthday...it was one big Birthday Party!
I remember when Phil would strum his bass chords on stage, the ground we were standing on out in center field would vibrate...it was wild!
One big party of hippies, freaks, DEAD Heads, bikers, and a few AWOL military guys...
Outstanding quality for an audience recording from back in the stone age of recording 5 stars...who are these guys?
I recommend using your EQ during playback of most of the shows on the IA, this one included.
Windows Media Player has a 10 band EQ and SRS WOW effects that enhance the sound.
Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Thanks for the LOVE from 1973.

This is an excellent show from a great year in the band's history. The energy from the sick Playin' closer in the first set carries over and builds through
...
the second with one great tune after another.
Also sad to hear about Jerry Moore, but this show and his other great recordings are part of his legacy and will be enjoyed by countless others in the years to come. Fare thee well Jerry!

They take the PITB to unusual places for 1973, including a righteous "tiger" peak. While the recording contains crowd noise, there's a presence and immediacy
...
that's missing from a lot of the boards from this year.
